Hawaii Trip Tommy B.

This past week i went to a small island in the islands of hawaii called kauai. I stayed for a total of 7 days 8 nights. This was my 11th timt to this particular island and i must say it was the best and most memeorable time. I did more during this trip than i have ever done when going there. Everything from swimming in the hotel pools all day to going ziplining and deep sea fishing. My most memorable moment from the trip was going down the 900 foot zipline overlooking the wetest place on earth known as wymaya canyon, it was so green and imense of soo much natural life. While there i also attended a wedding which was on the beach at a resturant at sunset this just tottaly toped off the vacation. The weather while on the isalnd was just amazing it stayed 90 all day and droped to about 80 at night. The food was so delicious i ate more fish than i have ever ate. My favorite meal was the mayi mayi fish and chips i got the third night. Overall this trip was soo relaxing and i had a amazing time and i hope to share more with whomever wishes. Thanks.
